"Common Bonds" gives wonderful insight on how to be an anti-biased teacher. Anytime I have a question about integrated classrooms and diversity, I get out my book and I always find the answer, whether my question has to do with celebrating holidays in the classroom, dealing with same-sex parents or any other kind of racism. The author is great with advice on how to deal with contraversal situations in the classroom.
